Chapter 121 Gossip
"President Lin! Why are you here?" Jiang Yang said in surprise.

"Hehe, of course I'm coming for the level two chef exam." Lin Yong said with a smile.

Jiang Yang lowered his head, realizing that he had asked the wrong question.Yes, someone else is the president of the Chefs Association, isn't it normal here?

"Let's go for a walk together?" Lin Yong invited.

Jiang Yang was taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Yong to invite him for a walk.He replied: "Okay!"

The two quietly left the classroom without disturbing the students and teachers inside.

"What do you think of this school?" Lin Yong and Jiang Yang asked suddenly as they walked on the campus.

"Very good, it feels very beautiful." Jiang Yang said.

Lin Yong smiled, he knew that Jiang Yang didn't understand what he meant.

Looking at this beautiful campus, Lin Yong said slowly, "Do you know how you learned to cook before?"

"Probably in the form of a master leading an apprentice." Jiang Yang thought for a while and said.

"That's right, master leads apprentices. People of your generation couldn't understand how difficult it was to learn a craft at that time." Lin Yong said with emotion.

Jiang Yang was silent, he really didn't know.

"In our generation, if you want to learn a craft, you must first worship a master. This master is not something you can worship if you want, you have to prepare for the ceremony, and the master will accept you as an apprentice.

Don't think that you can easily learn crafts by becoming an apprentice. At the beginning, the master will arrange you to do chores.I still have to work hard to do well, and if something goes wrong, the master will beat and scold me mercilessly.As for this, you can't have the slightest complaint, because you did it voluntarily.What's more, some masters who have a bad temper may beat and scold them when they feel that things are not going well.

Until a few years later, the master thinks that you are doing well, so he will slowly teach you some skills. As for whether you can learn it or not, it depends on your talent.

And at that time, everyone paid close attention to their own skills, and even if they taught them to their apprentices, they still kept a good hand.It is not taught to non-sons, but only before death. " Lin Yong said slowly.

Jiang Yang was silent, this was the first time he had heard of these things, just from Lin Yong's language, he could hear the difficulty of learning the craft at that time.

Lin Yong looked at Jiang Yang, and continued: "At that time, it was difficult to learn a craft, so it was not easy to pass on the craft to others. How many unique skills were lost! They are all the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors! The same is true for cooking skills. In the long river of history, I don’t know how many famous dishes have been lost!”

When Lin Yong said this, Jiang Yang immediately felt a little bit embarrassed, those delicacies that were lost in time... all the dishes are the crystallization of wisdom.

"Fortunately, with the continuous development of society, learning has gradually become easier. Just like a chef, it is not as difficult as it used to be. Just like this school, here, as long as you want, you can become a qualified chef , has a cooking skill." Lin Yong pointed to the school and said, there was a kind of pride in his words, as if his own children had made great achievements.

"Do you know how many talents this school has sent to the society?" Lin Yong asked Jiang Yang.

"I don't know." Jiang Yang honestly shook his head,

"About 1000 people graduate from here every year." Lin Yong said excitedly. "Do you know the concept of 1000 people per year? It means that [-] chefs will graduate from this school in ten years, even if some of them do not work in the chef industry. Those who are willing to work in the chef industry will definitely It can bring changes to the entire chef world!" Lin Yong became more and more excited as he spoke, he didn't look like an old man at all, but like a young man in his twenties and thirties.

"1000 people..." Jiang Yang muttered to himself, feeling a faint touch in his heart.

Seeing Jiang Yang's appearance, Lin Yong didn't say any more.Some things just need to plant a seed and wait for it to take root and sprout.

"Your generation, growing up in the current environment, can be said to be lucky or unlucky." Lin Yong said.

Jiang Yang was puzzled, and said, "I think it's okay."

"Hahaha, you guys, fortunately, it's easy to learn anything, but unfortunately, because it's too easy, you don't know how to cherish and work hard." Lin Yong laughed.Then he suppressed his smile and sighed: "I don't know if this is good or bad, it's easier to learn and easier to slack off."

Jiang Yang fell into deep thought. Was he... too slack?Because it is easy to get, but not cherished enough?
"Okay, it's hard for you to hear so much from a bad old man." Lin Yong said.

"No, listening to your words brought me a lot of emotions." Jiang Yang said sincerely.

Lin Yong glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late, shall we have lunch together?"

Jiang Yang had nothing to do, he had to eat anyway, so he agreed.

I went to the school cafeteria for lunch, President Lin treated guests, and they ate ordinary student meals.But the taste is not the same as the canteen outside.

After dinner, Jiang Yang had to go to the exam, chatted with Lin Yong for a while and then left.

Jiang Yang found a seat to sit, and there was still an hour before the exam.He played with his phone for a while, and suddenly heard: "Next, candidates who heard their names come in! Chang Songmu, Xu Cunlu, Fu Yumeng... Jiang Yang, Jiang Guoji... Please come in for the exam!"

Jiang Yang's expression shook, and it was finally his turn.Identity verification is mandatory before entering the examination room.At any rate, it is also a state-recognized chef grade exam, so how can it be child's play.

After verification, Jiang Yang entered the examination room.The examination room is very large, surrounded by various ingredients, densely packed.Jiang Yang glanced at it. Vegetables, eggs, meat, fish, most of the common ingredients in the market are available here.

However, some ingredients are empty, it seems that they were consumed in the morning exam.Jiang Yang thought to himself.Suddenly, he thought of a question. Obviously, the ingredients consumed in the previous exam had not been replenished.So in this way, wouldn't it be more difficult for those who are later in the exam!What if the ingredients you are good at are used up?
In fact, the emergence of this situation was intentional by the Chefs Association.Sometimes luck is also very important. Besides, can a chef only cook specific ingredients?Then such a chef is also unqualified.A qualified chef should at least be good at cooking several kinds of ingredients.

Withdrawing his gaze from looking at the ingredients, Jiang Yang looked towards the middle of the examination room.

In the middle is a separate small stove, on which the chopping board, knives, pots, spoons and other kitchen utensils are neatly placed there.In addition, there are oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar and other seasonings neatly placed on the stove.

Each stove is partitioned and the area is small, but enough for one person to operate.

"Attention everyone, the exam for a second-level chef is divided into four parts: knife skills, seasoning, heat and dishes.

Everyone cuts potato shreds in the knife skill test. This is something you often come into contact with.Potato shreds require uniform thickness, and the more subdivided, the higher.But note that the thickness must be uniform, if this is not possible, then no matter how thin it is, there will be no points.

The seasoning is the respective dipping sauce, there is no special requirement for this.

Stir-fry the sugar color with high heat, and the color is required to be upright and not tender or bitter.

Dishes are optional, no special requirements.

In the end, you only have one hour to complete these exams! " said the invigilator teacher.

Everyone was stunned. There are many exams, but the time is very tight.This also includes the time for selecting and processing ingredients, one hour is too tight!
Jiang Yang was silent for a while, then walked straight towards the ingredients area.
